>> What do you mean by "all usb audio"? In 4.1/5.1 mode LFE and all other
outputs work properly, it is just for 2.1, which works as stereo.
>>
>> > If you don't have SPDIF output/input, you need to add your card in
USB-AUDIO.conf
>> Sound card has S/PDIF output, but not input. Not sure whether output
works properly though. I do not have speakers or any other hardware with
S/PDIF input to test it.

type route slave.pcm

card $CARD } ".pcm.surround51." $DEV ":CARD=" $CARD ] } }
ttable.0.FL 1 ttable.1.FR 1 ttable.2.LFE 1

2.1 seem use 5.1 and route plugin

If you mean route plugin cannot be used twice, you need to remove surround
2.1 from USB-Audio.conf
